Enabling or disabling the simplified remote restart capability

You can enable or disable the simplified remote restart capability of a logical partition after the logical partition is created, by using the Hardware Management Console (HMC).

Before you begin

  • Ensure that the HMC is at Version 8.1.0, or later.
  • Ensure that the server is a POWER9™ processor-based server that supports partitions that are capable of simplified remote restart.
  • Ensure that the logical partition is in the Not Activated state. When the HMC is at Version 8.6.0, or later, and the firmware is at level FW860, or later, you can enable or disable the simplified remote restart capability when the logical partition is in the Running state. The logical partition must not be in the Suspended, Resuming, Migrating, or Remote Restarting states.
  • To use the simplified remote restart feature, ensure that the HMC is at Version 8.2.0, or later.
